Run STM32CubeMX in headless mode in a Docker container in Jenkins

[kiran_g]

Hi All,

I am working on setting up a pipeline on Jenkins for building the STM32 platform-based projects. A .ioc file is used to generate the project using the STM32CubeMX command, which is run in a Docker container (from a docker image I built based on ubuntu) in the pipeline script. Here's the command used to invoke STM32CubeMX: 

java -jar <path_to_CubeMX>/STM32CubeMX -q <scriptfile>

Everything works fine when I use the same image and run a container on my local machine and execute the command inside the container; however, when I pull the image and execute it inside the Docker container in my pipeline using the

docker.image(DOCKER_IMAGE).inside(){
---cmd---
}

I see the following error in the Jenkins log file as shown below:

Bye bye

Here's the content of my script file:

config load <filename>.ioc
project name app
project toolchain STM32CubeIDE
project path <path>
SetCopyLibrary copy all
SetStructure Advanced
project generate
exit

The above error comes in the project generate step of the script. 

Thanks,
